Advanced Split Patterns in Power Query (Real-World Data Examples)

If you work with inconsistent text, multi-delimiters, mixed formats, or semi-structured data, basic splits will eventually fail you. Power Query offers far more than simple delimiter splits. When you understand how split patterns actually work, you can clean inconsistent, messy, real-world data without constantly rewriting your steps. In this session, Excel MVP Melissa de Korte delves beyond the basics, demonstrating how professionals utilise Power Query's split logic to confidently handle real-world datasets. What you’ll learn in this webinar: * Why simple delimiter splits break in real-world data * How to design robust split patterns that adapt to changing inputs * Using position-based, conditional, and pattern-aware splits * How better split logic leads to more stable, reusable queries Download the workfile used: https://crispomwangi-my.sharepoint.com/:u:/g/personal/crispo_crispexcel_com/IQBj_gDd_TLHSaN41f_81XBaAeWFzM3YF4geUF9r6tj2Tjc?e=cYgPKE
